There has
been a lack of Fit Friday! posts. I have still been weighing in weekly but the
number is not even moving. I was very surprised considering I was working out (intensely!)
and tracking everything I ate on Fitness Pal the last few weeks.
Part of
me always thought the scale was flat our wrong. I didn’t really weigh the
number that the scale was saying I weighed. That was a weight I hadn’t been
since I had gotten married and put on the “happy weight.” It just couldn’t be
true. I was in denial UNTIL I had to take a business trip to Chicago last week.
I had to wear business attire which I hadn’t worn in years. My work atmosphere
is super casual and I wear jeans and flip flops to work every day and it is
definitely a perk to the job.
I was in
my closet trying on clothes I had worn two years ago at my old job every day.
Clothes that were comfortable, cute, and even a bit baggy on me. I could barely
button the black pants and my blouses were barely staying buttoned. YIKES.
This was
a major wake-up call. I need to get back to my goal weight and maintain it in a
healthy manner that I can continue for a lifetime. I cannot keep gaining and
losing, gaining and losing.
Enter
P90X. I’m doing it. I’m committed. IT. IS. ON. I need the motivation, I need
the guidance. I need the change. I’m excited and I’m scared, but I know if I
want to see change I cannot keep doing what I have always done. I need to
change it up.
This isn’t
a complaining post or anything of the sort. I know my portions can be too big
and I can overindulge on the weekends more than I should. I know that I don’t
eat enough veggies or fruits. I know this is my fault and my responsibility to
get back to where I want to be. I’m willing to put in the work and I’m excited
to see what happens.
I want to
be in the best shape of my life at 30 and this is the best way for me to get
there. Wish me luck and get ready for updates and please keep me accountable.

Good Luck! My husband and I just completed it about two months ago. You'll form a love/hate relationship with it! ;)

You totally got this. Sometimes we all need a wake-up call to push us back in the right direction. If you want more encouragement, I'm library_fiend on MFP :) I've found the support there to be really helpful and, well, supporting, haha. :)
LOVE P90x. Don't give up! And make sure to adjust your calories for the crazy days... ahem, plyometrics.
Have fun with Tony the Terrible...
Don't be so insecure...you really need to believe in yourself! Seriously, stop embracing being so naive, live, love and enjoy life in moderation, not insecurity.
